Can Love Reduce Physical Pain; Love & Protect with H2, H2/O2, PEMF & More!
Hello Everyone,
We hope you’re enjoying Valentine’s Day and if it’s not your thing, then it’s okay!
The question is, can love reduce pain?
A 2010 study found that, in the early, heady stages of a romance (in the first 9 months of a relationship), viewing pictures of a romantic partner reduced experimental pain induced by heat. The analgesia was related to activation of reward processing areas of the brain.
A 2017 study found that an empathic partner’s touch helps regulate the nervous system (cardiac and respiratory synchronization) of the partner who is in pain and has a pain-reducing effect. Just being in the presence of the empathic partner reduced pain, but not as much as when the partners touched. The couples in the study were between 23 and 32 years old and were in long term relationships for an average of about 3 ½ years. The study involved tolerance of experimental pain stimulation.
A positive, committed romantic relationship can also have other health benefits, including decreased risk of heart disease, lower blood pressure, improved immune health, faster recovery from illness and a longer life span.
A relationship that feels unsafe, including relationships where there is emotional or physical abuse or neglect or a fear of abandonment is characterized by chronic fear, has the opposite physiological effects.
In the early stages of passionate, romantic love, our brain’s reward system is activated. Our system is flooded with dopamine, a brain chemical that is also activated by cocaine. Dopamine blocks pain at the spinal level, just as opioids do. In the early stages of a romantic relationship, our bodies are also flooded with cortisol, a stress hormone, which in the short term is anti-inflammatory.
In the later stages of a good romantic relationship or other loving relationships, other brain chemicals get activated. Oxytocin, which is activated by pleasurable touch, allows feelings to flow through us. We feel safer about expressing our feelings, which allows our bodies to relax and reduces pain. We are made to co-regulate with other human beings through hugs and other touch, which in a positive relationship is calming to our nervous system. On the other hand, in a negative relationship, we have nowhere to turn for touch and our bodies flare up because they want attention. The pain of that finds a place to lodge in our nervous system.
Loving interaction with animals can also be pain reducing. Studies have looked at the benefits of dogs, cats, horses, birds, etc. These studies noted improvements in depression, blood pressure and dementia symptoms. Dog ownership, in particular, was associated with more physical activity, which tends to help with pain and mood. Pet ownership by elderly persons preserves the ability to perform acts of daily living and even lowers triglycerides and increases survival time in patients with arrhythmias and congestive heart failure, according to other studies.
Being in an emotional state of love and having positive touch in any relationship with another living being has pain relieving effects. People who are in chronic pain are often more isolated than most. They also have difficulty getting things done because of limitations imposed by their pain and related conditions. So a really valuable gift is a gift of your time for companionship and help with household tasks and errands.
Love & Protect with H2, H2/O2, PEMF & More!
At our side @ PEMF-devices.com we’ve been making efforts to promote wellness technologies that are safe, non-invasive, close to nature and protect based on science.
As professionals, it has been our mission to only believe science that is published and peer-reviewed by leading research publications. You can find our in-depth research review articles to gain an insight about Pulsed Electromagnetic Field therapy, molecular hydrogen and photobiomodulation (light therapies) among others.
Recently in 2021, scientists from University of California and Japan published an in-depth study on the role that molecular hydrogen can play in protection from common pre-symptomatic inflammatory diseases. Great evidence here on how H2 can protect against a number of conditions including cancer, CKD, type 2 diabetes, hepatitis, Alzheimer's disease, Parkinsons and Hypertension.
Plants too will find solace and regeneration with molecular hydrogen. So if you have plants, nourish them with H2 water!
The figure below shows the possible mechanisms by which H2 acts in as a protective agent within plant systems. Several ways are shown by which H2 may act, whilst highlighting the benefits for both agricultural and environmental sustainability.

Molecular hydrogen acts as a mighty antioxidant, helping defend cells and genes from the damage caused by harmful free radicals. This property, combined with its anti-inflammatory effects, helps protect against pre-inflammatory conditions as they are caused by tissue degeneration, oxidative stress, and inflammation.
Some of the leading causes of death worldwide are inflammatory diseases including cancer, chronic kidney disease (CKD), diabetes, hepatitis, Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s disease, and hypertension.
Now with hydrogen inhalation therapy, supported with oxygen, we can stretch our years beyond all expectations while we enjoy peak health during that time.
To get an in-depth research review, please read our full article on molecular hydrogen and oxyhydrogen.
I hope you take the time to explore this valuable break-through longevity technology and it allows you many more years of love.
That’s not all, we have more! See below our special deals for up to Valentine’s Day!
As always, please feel free to write to us if you have any questions. We look forward to hearing from you.
Featured Hydrogen/Oxygen Generators
The following Hydrogen machines are simple to use and do not require anything complex, installation should not take more than a few minutes. All we have to do is fill in distilled water, connect the hoses/nasal cannulas and start the machine.
The output of the systems have been certified by recognized authorized labs. The systems are CE and ISO certified and are safe to use with some precautions during use (no static, no fire in the room, etc.)
Free worldwide delivery and international warranty is provided.
Hi-Tech H2 + O2 Ultra 3000
The Hi-Tech H2+O2 Ultra 3000 is our highest volume hydrogen and oxyhydrogen (H2/O2) generator and also allows you to make hydrogen-rich water. It produces up to 2 liters per minute (L/min) of H2, 1 L/min O2 for a combined output of 3 L/min (~100 fl. oz./min) of H2 & O2 together. This machine is our top end, most powerful model and provides a huge gush of H2.
Ultra 900 and Ultra 1500
Ultra (900 and 1500) are perfect for hydrogen and oxyhydrogen inhalation and making hydrogen-rich water (HRW). These desktop hydrogen inhalers are easy to use and can be used at any bed-side, desk or clinic.
Basic H2 + O2
The Hi-Tech Hydrogen Inhaler Basic is a light-weight hydrogen electrolyzer that provides hydrogen and H2/O2 inhalation and allows you to make hydrogen-rich water at home. It produces 99.9% pure hydrogen gas and has ISO, water quality and CE certifications.
The all new Hi-Tech Hydrogen Inhalation machines now have a Oxygen output port. That means you can now use both H2 + O2 at 150 ml/min + 75 ml/min respectively. Oxygen can be mixed with Hydrogen or you can also use pure Hydrogen. A Package of H2 Basic + H2 Eye is also available.
The Hi-PEMF Machine from PEMF-devices.com
The Hi-Tech High-Intensity PEMF (HIPEMF) Machine is a result of several years of research and development. It’s a truly powerful system with maximum output of over 2.4 Tesla using the butterfly loops. At these intensities one can feel muscle contractions and the pulse propagating deep inside in the body and providing immense relief in any area of inflammation.
It comes with 4 applicators including a PEMF mat, large loop, butterfly (double loop) and paddles.
The low price (the cost is half as what was the cost of similar intensity systems) and yet high quality build and SSL signal design makes this system a great choice for anyone wanting to implement high power PEMF at home or clinic. Delivered worldwide with free shipping included in the purchase price. Plus you will receive a 2-hour training video and downloadable guide by Dr. Bruce Berkowsky (NMD, HMC, MH) that explains the creative uses of the PEMF machine. Here’s an exercept from the training video.
